Overview

For over 120 years, Lund has been making a positive and lasting difference in the lives of women, children and families in our home state of Vermont, and well beyond. We serve over 5,000 people in Vermont each year and hundreds more throughout the country.

Originally founded as a maternity home in 1890, Lund has evolved over the years to meet the changing needs of society, yet never straying from our mission of helping children to thrive. Today, Lund is a comprehensive treatment center and family support agency, offering an array of integrated services in response to the needs of pregnant or parenting teens and women, adoptive families, and children.

Nationally recognized and locally lauded, Lund focuses on three goals:

Reducing child abuse & neglect
Preventing teen pregnancy
Ensuring every child has a loving family and a secure home

All that we do – facilitating adoption, caring for infants and toddlers while parents work, treating women for substance abuse and mental health issues, counseling pregnant women and teens, teaching and modeling parenting skills, providing access to education and job training, and a host of other services – helps children thrive and promotes strong families.
